History

Throughout its history, the Stadio Olimpico has undegone several renovations.

1937, the Stadio dei Cipressi

In its first stages, the Stadio Olimpico was called the Stadio dei Cipressi. It was designed and constructed within the larger project of the Foro Mussolini (Mussolini Forum) which was renamed Foro Italico after the war.

Stadio Olimpico di Torino

Constructed in the 1930s, the stadium is located in the district of Santa Rita, in the central-south of the city. Under the name of "Municipale" first and "Comunale", it was the home of Juventus and Torino until 1990, when it was abandoned in favour of the Stadio Delle Alpi.

Renovated and renamed the "Olimpico" on the occasion of the XX Winter Olympics of 2006, it continued being used as a football stadium of Torino, which still uses it, and Juventus until 2011, the year in which the club migrated to the Juventus Stadium. It is currently one of the three Italian stadiums (along with the Stadio Olimpico in Rome) to return to the UEFA Category 4.

History

The original project: Stadio Municipale Benito Mussolini

Originally named after Benito Mussolini, the stadium was built at the direction of Il Duce himself, to host the Games of the year Littoriali XI, held in 1933 and the World Student Games in the same year.

Overview

The Stadio Olimpico was also used by Serravalle-based football club A.C. Juvenes/Dogana for its home games in the Italian league, until the side withdrew to concentrate only on the Sanmarinese Championship. The Stadio Olimpico is an all-seater stadium and has a maximum capacity of 6,664. It has hosted teams such as England, Spain, Germany, and the Netherlands.

The San Marino national team's three biggest defeats in the stadium are a record 13–0 to Germany in September 2006 and more recently 8–0 to England and by the same score against Ukraine, both in 2013. The national team's only win was also in this stadium; a friendly 1–0 beating of Liechtenstein in 2004.
This stadium seats are in two stands along the lengths of the pitch and the highest ever capacities are in those same matches against Germany and England. 5,019 people saw them lose to Germany, and 4,952 saw them lose to England.
